I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Gui Yifa glanced around and realized that the sparkling ice chips that had surrounded her had disappeared at some point.

"Water generates wood... Is that the Five Elements spell from Yin-Yang magic? No wonder I didn't notice it."

Water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water, and the five elements give birth to each other.

Fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, the five elements overcome each other.

His movements were restricted and the monster was right before his eyes, but Gui Yifayan did not show any panic.

She didn't need to panic.

Suddenly, a small cluster of flames rose in front of Gui Yi Fa Yan. When the flames fell on the vines wrapped around Gui Yi Fa Yan, it was as if the vines were not vines but cotton, and they were instantly ignited.

The vines were burned off without any resistance, and the burned parts turned into fire snakes that seemed to have life. The faded bloody dog ​​that pounced on it was torn to pieces and burned by these fire snakes in an instant.

"How do you say something?"

Gui Yi Fa Yan moved his arms, and huge fire pythons surrounded Gui Yi Fa Yan like guards protecting the king, and at the same time spit out red tongues at the man in white not far away.

"Lu Ban wields a large axe in front of a gate, Guan Gong wields a large sword in front of a gate... As for me, I practice Yin-Yang magic in front of Gui Yi? The word count doesn't seem right... Playing Yin-Yang? It always feels a bit weird... I'm an Yin-Yang master, not a Yin-Yang person..."

Although his thoughts were a little distracted, Gui Yi's Dharma Eyes were not enough to completely ignore the opponent in front of him.

As she raised her hand, the huge fire python began to attack the man in white.

The man in white calmly threw out a paper man, and after the paper man burned out, it turned into a huge stone man.

The fire python wrapped around the stone man, but the stone man grabbed its neck and threw it to the ground. Then the stone man kicked the fire python again and broke it, and then started fighting with other fire pythons.

The fire pythons looked ferocious, but they were no match for the stone men. Even though there were more fire pythons than stone men, they soon showed signs of decline.

On the contrary, the stone man became more and more courageous as the battle went on. As more and more fire pythons dissipated under his fists, the stone man's figure became taller and taller, and his color gradually changed from grayish brown to reddish brown.

When all the fire pythons were destroyed by the stone man, the stone man's momentum reached its peak. His height was nearly twice as high as before, and his joints were red as if magma was flowing.

The surging power seemed to make the stone man a little dizzy. He hit his chest with his fist, then turned to look at Gui Yifayan.

Seeing the stone man rushing towards him, Gui Yifayan calmly swung out a palm.

With a "bang", the stone man shattered into countless pieces of rock.

Gui Yifayan maintained the posture of waving his palm, and then closed his five fingers.

The stones in front of her seemed to be guided and began to gather together, then compress, and compress again...

Until the color of the rock changed from dull reddish brown to dazzling golden yellow, and from the original uneven sphere to a giant sword engraved with runes.

Gui Yifayan raised her hand, and the huge golden sword hung above her head, the tip of the sword pointing at the man in white, and the sword body trembled slightly.

"go."

The golden giant sword made an ethereal sound and shot out at the man in white.

The man in white raised his hands, and a vortex of flames emitting terrifyingly high temperatures blocked his way.

The golden giant sword pierced into the vortex of flames, and the pierced part gradually turned golden red, and even showed signs of being melted.

The man in white's arms trembled as he struggled to maintain the vortex of flames.

"Aren't you going to continue converting our elements? It seems like this is your limit."

"Well done... I'm not being sarcastic. I truly think you're amazing. There aren't many people who can play with me to this level. You should be proud of it."

In front of the man in white, the vortex of fire suddenly cracked open.

A figure flashed out from inside, and before the man in white could react, the other person's hand pierced straight through his chest.

"Goodbye... oh no, I should say... good night. Sweet dreams, this world's genius Onmyoji."

Chapter 138 Qianhua's parents, a conversation in a dream

"Cheating! Sara, you definitely cheated!"

"Don't move! You'll fall!"

Sara held Qianhua's thighs and after a lot of frantic effort, she managed to prevent Qianhua from falling off her back.

But even if you fall, it shouldn't be a big deal as long as you don't hit your head.

"This is my first time playing those games. How could I possibly cheat? You taught me the rules."

The reason why Qianhua was so angry was because of the game she taught to Sara. It was fine when Sara was first familiar with the rules of the game, but after Sara learned how to play, Qianhua basically lost more than she won.

For example, the game of finding four-leaf clover. Generally speaking, this kind of game relies more on luck, but because Sara trains archery every day, his eyesight is particularly good, and finding four-leaf clover is much easier for him than Chika.

"So, Qianhua, you will also follow me and learn martial arts from Master?"

"Never!"

Qianhua turned her head away as if she was angry, with her lips pouted high.

Sara did not give up recommending Qianhua to learn martial arts, but Qianhua was very firm in her refusal.

At present, Sala is carrying Qianhua on his back and rushing home. Because Sala always wins, Qianhua's competitive spirit is aroused, so Qianhua had a rare fun today. Qianhua, whose legs were sore from running, was finally carried back by Sala.

The hottest time of the day has passed. There has never been a distinction between four seasons in this sealed space, so the temperature and humidity always maintain a range that is most suitable for human life.

Although there were no birds singing or insects chirping, there was the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, and the sunlight of just the right temperature felt warm on the body. Qianhua, who had just had a great time and was now lying on someone's back, couldn't help but yawn, and a few tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes.

She reached out and rubbed the corners of her eyes, and when she opened them again, Qianhua felt that the scenery in front of her eyes became slightly blurry.

That day, the sunlight was a bit dazzling.

That day, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

She was also like this... lying on someone's back.

Dad’s back is very broad and gives me a sense of security.

Gradually, sleepiness came over her and Qianhua quietly closed her eyes.

"Oh, Chika seems to have fallen asleep."

My mother's voice is gentle and lively.

"Ah... maybe he's tired from playing. That's how kids are."

Actually, I hadn’t fallen asleep yet, but... I don’t know what I was thinking at the time, Qianhua decided to continue pretending to be asleep and wait for what happened next.

"When I was little, I was probably even more boisterous than Qianhua, right? So being a mother is such a tiring job?"

"It's normal for us to be parents for the first time, right? It's only now that I understand a little bit how difficult it is for my parents... I really want to proudly introduce you and Chika to them... They should be very happy, right?"

"Your parents will definitely be very pleased with me. Well... Qianhua will definitely be too. After all, you said that Qianhua looks a lot like me. If your parents saw Qianhua and me, you, as their son, might fall out of favor."

"...If I can see them again, then I'll be fine with falling out of favor."

My father’s parents…should we call them grandpa and grandma, right?

But... Qianhua has almost no memories of her grandparents.

Only like this can you hear the existence of your parents through their words.

"But... well... if I really saw them, Mom and Dad would probably beat me up... No, a beating would probably be okay. After all, I'm not a good father."

"Because, dear, you think you owe Chika, right?"

"……Um."

Qianhua, who was lying on her father's back, felt it keenly and her father's movements stiffened for a moment.

"Although I did ask for everyone's opinions at the beginning, and although everyone in the village supports me, but...but...Qianhua is too young, I..."

"You think that when Qianhua grows up... No, people here have lost the right to 'grow up'... You are worried that Qianhua will not understand what you have done and will hate you... Right?"

"...Hate me if you want. After all, it was me who forced Qianhua and other children of her age to make a choice at such an ignorant age. Even if they realize the weight of this decision after they mature and develop hatred towards me, it's all my own fault."

"...Really? Why would I fall in love with a fool like you?"

The mother's tone at the time was full of helplessness... but there seemed to be another emotion besides helplessness.

Like the honey she received during the New Year, or like her favorite violet melon.

Incomprehensible, indescribable.

I remember my mother once explained this emotion, and I remember she laughed very happily at that time.

She said... this is "love".

"Listen carefully, it wasn't you who forced the children to make a decision, it was this terrible world... It wasn't you who killed us, on the contrary. If it weren't for you, my dear, Chika, and everyone else in the village would have died in that dark wave... That's why everyone in the village supported you when you asked for their opinions."

"We were originally rescued from the ocean of death. We all remember who fought for this 'present' for us. We are already content... So when you want to gamble our 'future' to save more people, we gladly accept it."

"I'm proud of you, my dear... I believe that even if Qianhua knew what you did in the future, she would be as proud of you as I am... After all, you also said that Qianhua and I are very similar, aren't we?"

Qianhua couldn't remember the conversation that followed.

I only remember that the sunshine that day felt warm on my body, and the breeze that day felt fragrant blowing through my hair.

Qianhua fell into a sweet and soft dream, and was embraced by long-lost happiness.

…………

Sara suddenly discovered that Qianhua on his back had become quiet at some point.

No more moving around, no more noise.

Sara quietly glanced at Qianhua's face leaning on his shoulder, and what he saw was a peaceful sleeping face.

It seemed like he had a good dream. His breathing was even and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The guy who had been making a lot of noise suddenly became quiet, and Sara felt a little uncomfortable.

Glancing at Qianhua's profile, Sara thought to himself, "So she can make this kind of expression?"

Perhaps even Sara herself did not notice that her pace as she was running back gradually slowed down, her breathing rhythm also changed, and she walked much more steadily than before.

Was it because he couldn't bear to disturb the other person's sweet dream? Sara didn't know.

Chapter 139: The Three Formation Eyes are Destroyed, and the Different Space Appears

Sara and Qianhua did not run too far away from the village, nor did they dare to run too far away from the village.

Although Gui Yi Fa Yan told them that the monsters around the village had been almost eliminated by her, it was still better not to run too far for safety reasons.

Gui Yifayan should not need to worry about Sha Luo and Qian Hua in this regard. Although they are not very old, Sha Luo is mature in mind and Qian Hua is very familiar with the environment here and knows where is the safest place.

Therefore, nothing happened to Sara on his way back.

By the time they arrived at Qianhua's house, Sara felt a little embarrassed.

Because he was carrying Qianhua on his back, Sara couldn't reach out to open the door.

Just as she was thinking about whether to wake Qianhua up, she found that the door seemed to be open a crack.

"...Didn't we close the door when we left?"

Sara felt that he would not make such a low-level mistake.

He had to lift Qianhua's leg with his hand, so although it was a bit rude, Sara lifted his foot and pushed the door open.

"master?"

If it wasn't that Qianhua and he forgot to close the door, then someone had been here.

Sara would naturally feel that he was his own master.

But after entering the door, Sara did not see his master.

"...Is the master out again?"

It is a good habit to close the door casually. Sara moved his legs to close the door again, but as a result, Qianhua on his back slipped down a little. Fearing that Qianhua would fall, Sara instinctively held Qianhua's thighs and lifted them up.

Then, perhaps because Sara's movements were too big, or perhaps because Qianhua was almost asleep... In any case, Qianhua made a murmur as if she had woken up from a dream.

"Hmm...is it morning yet?"

"No, it should be dark."

The sun was setting, but it was not yet dark as Sara had said.

"Sister Sara..." Rubbing her eyes, Qianhua was trying to connect her memories before going to bed, "Did I fall asleep?"

"It seems so... and the expression on your face, how should I put it..." Sara considered his words, "...so beautiful that it's enviable? Are you having a sweet dream?"
